Package: varnish
Version: 3.0.0-4
Severity: normal
It Would Be Nice If /etc/init.d/varnish were to adopt the convention
(as seen in /etc/init.d/skeleton and many other packages) that "status"
returns a non-zero exit code if the daemon is not running. This
would enable the presence of varnish to be tested programmatically,
e.g. by puppet and other configuration automation thingies
I believe the necessary change would be to replace the line
status_of_proc -p "${PIDFILE}" "${DAEMON}" "${NAME}"
with
status_of_proc -p "${PIDFILE}" "${DAEMON}" "${NAME}" && exit 0 || exit $?
- but I haven't actually tried it.
